As reported by “MK” in RSC “Energia”, the current sets of flight suits (PC), which placed astronauts on the Soyuz spacecraft was designed in the 70’s of the last century and since then, only slightly modernized. When the flight into orbit lasted for two days, members of the crew, freed from the suits, dressed in them. Last time, when the astronauts delivered to ISS in 6 hours, the need for dressing at all anymore — the PC is almost never removed from the pilings. But in the future convenient flight suit again can be useful in connection with a three-day flight to the moon. Modern flight clothes should combine function, a sweat suit, pajamas or Executive suit in which it would be appropriate to appear before the camera during communication with the Ground.
